Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot This school is absolutely amazing for an educational experience. I am attending an off-site campus and receiving my credit at Oklahoma City Community College. Since being here my knowledge level has changed dramatically, before I knew almost nothing of computers now I can teach people with ease.
Am enjoying being here The students and staff here are great, the hours are a bit odd for me but other than that I would not trade my amazing experience here for anything.
Bang for the buck Since it is a community college you spend dramatically less then you would attending a larger school in the area. However the education quality is very high and on par with all the four year institutions in the state.
Tips for prospective students Prepare for environment similar to that of your high school. Due to small class sizes and driving to school daily it can fill like a more pleasant version of high school. Also while your at OCCC make friends the people here are amazing and will make life long friends.
Great for these types of students Commuter students and working students will find OCCC the best choice. Many students here have jobs which pay for their school, and in most cases they have extra money after they pay tuition. Weather you are living at home or in your own apartment you can really afford to attend OCCC.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot There are so many resources that are helpful in whatever course of study you are in. Learning is made easy when you put your time in your studies.
Am enjoying being here Yes I never thought going back to college would be this enjoyable. They have flexable schedules for people who live in the real world who don't have time solely for college. That makes it easier for many of us who work and have lives outside of the campus.
Tips for prospective students Applying is easy and is worth taking the time to do. Having a career in mind will make it easier on the academic advisors in schedule your classes. Even if you don't have a career in mind or don't know what would be suitable for you as a career, they will be able to help in that area.
Great for these types of students Going to college is greater for you in the future. Education is a powerful tool.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences OCCC is an amazing College and has some of the best Professors around. The entire college is dedicated to helping the students with anything that is needed.
Tips for prospective students The best advise I can offer is to get involved. Start a study group with other students, join a club or two, and use the resources that OCCC offers. You can learn a lot from the New Student Orientation and from the required Success in College and Life class. Sign up for Civic Honors program and try to complete your first year there!

Dorm Life No Dorms
Food and Dining Has a nice coffee bar
Bang for the buck Very affordable. Check for scholarships.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences I believe this educational institution is very good. The only thing I would change is to make it more accessible for the voices of the students to be heard about their professors and what is happening. I look forward to continuing my education and achieving my degree at Oklahoma City Community College.
Tips for prospective students Learn as much as possible in High School and don't be happy with just getting by. College is much harder than you think and the Professors don't have to help you if they don't want to. Also, avoid Professor Michael Franco if at all possible.
Academic Rigor Has outstanding Academic Rigor.
Dorm Life no dorms available
Food and Dining The cafe' food is wonderful. although i wish they made bagel sandwiches.
Bang for the buck Overall this college provides excellent education. the books are pricey, but just across the street is a cheaper place to buy and sell books back
Great for these types of students Great for all students
Clubs and Activities There are all kinds of clubs and activities for all types of things.
Campus Safety The security Guards suck, a student got hit in the parking lot not even 25 feet from a security vehicle and they paid no attention. they would not have noticed anything had happened unless the passerby went and said something to them.

Rachelle from Edmond, OK
Reviewer is A current student here.
Categories Rating Comments In three sentences exceptional quality instructors, options, support, technology, class availability, flexibility all from a decent price at a community college education level. the on-line courses are easy to use and navigate. the professors have been available and supportive.
Tips for prospective students go early to find out all your information, see advisement counselor and walk through the process instead of waiting until right before classes start. email professors early if you have questions about schedules or testing so you can drop early if you need to or not register for a certain course.
Academic Rigor depending on what classes can depend on the academic rigor and demand placed on your life and schedule. sometimes the testing schedule is difficult if you are not on campus very often.
Dorm Life they do not have dorms.
Food and Dining cafeteria.
What to do for fun clubs, organizations, fairs, study groups, wellness center, classes under the wellness center, the gym through the wellness center
Bang for the buck good costs
Great for these types of students new or returning both

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Great place to start after high school or for non traditional students returning to college. A lot of the class transfer to most of the nearby four year institution. Overall I have been very happy with my experience at the college.
Tips for prospective students Get involved in one of the many clubs and organizations on campus. Use your professor's office hours, this proves to the professor you are trying to go the extra mile. Study hard!

Kice from Norman, OK

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences The campus is nice and lively.
Many of the services are ran by student employees allowing for a nice and no pressured talk, but allows for easy misinformation and problems.
The classrooms are delightfully small and so far 3 out of 4 teachers have been great.Tips for prospective students Get your student id card as soon as possible, because you will use it everywhere.
Make use of the computer lab on the 3rd floor of the library, because it has free printing and free computer access.
See how much the book will be used before buying it. If your teacher has something like printable powerpoints and there isn't any homework directly from the book, chances are you will be carrying around an $80 heavy tome that you'll open maybe once out of random curiosity.Academic Rigor As long as one comes to class, pays attention to most of the lecture, and studies a little before each test, they should have little to no problem passing the regular 16 week classes. The 8 week and 2 week classes however require much self study and some teachers are not all that interested in whether you succeed or not.
Dorm Life There aren't any dorms, but the college location is nice.
Food and Dining The college is near some restaurants and has its own cafeteria and cafe. The items average around $4-$6 for a suitable meal so I keep to my $1-$2 meals from home. From what Ive seen the food is relatively average. The cafe is your basic expensive Starbucks like place.
What to do for fun The college has a few plays, discussions, and events that go on throughout the semesters. Various clubs offer a few activities now and then as well. There is also a large computer lab with internet access if you have free time between classes. If you are one who finds learning fun, then there is a large library that allows a short rental of the books used in the classes and a language center with free Rosetta Stone.
Bang for the buck The good
Low tuition for classes that teach as much as classes anywhere else and smaller classes.
Computer and other lab access
Free Rosetta Stone
Able to speak with program adviser for clear and correct information
The bad
Many services are ran by students who may give bad information.
Not all teachers are savvy to the college and also may give bad information.Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is a rather large pyramid fountain in front of the library.
Great for these types of students Not worried about being the best but don't want to be thought of as bad. Ones who are satisfied as being good.
Clubs and Activities There are many going on and Ive attended a few.
Greek Life o.O?
Campus Safety Generally easy to find a security guard and I haven't experienced any trouble the semester I've been here
